Grumpous

Getting dinner ready. Wondering why the hell the water isn't coming to a boil. Everything else ready. Water still hasn't boiled. Stare at it for a good 10 min more before noticing that I never turned the burner on. Attention is sometimes lacking in me.

no one over the age of 65 should be allowed to hold public office

I don't understand people who do Christmas shopping early. If I find something to buy someone I'm going to give it to them now because I'm excited to give them something I think they'll love. Any more than two weeks ahead and they're getting it now, not waiting for a silly holiday.

with care and precision

just looking through instrument logs and...there must be another way to phrase that.

Someone once told me they liked to suck on pork rinds until they taste like ham and I've never forgiven them.

Can’t believe I just dropped my girlfriend off at the airport and she’s being picked up by a guy named Stardaddy and somehow I’m ok with this

people get mad at me for being on my phone all the time but then also get mad when I'm not on my phone and constantly moving and fidgeting. pick one.

out of everything you eat when unsupervised, I don't think totinos are the problem

It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door. But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown. So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy. Rob Wilkins Wiltshire, August 2025

On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published.

To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:

Dem leaders *could* have spent the past half decade going in front of cameras saying "trans rights are human rights, disabled people are worth keeping alive, genocide is a crime," etc.

Even without a majority. No magic wand needed, just a camera.

They didn't. They did the opposite.

I've never been a perfectionist, only an OKtionist

I don't think you would survive with the two of us in the same house

my fury in indescribable and my wrath has no bounds

you're lucky you live three states away

on today's episode of things that can apparently send me into a fit of blinding rage is calling me "friend" or any variation thereof when I don't know you

Starfinder galactic ancestries revealed!

The cover has a Bantrid, Goblin, Izalguun and Kasatha on it!

Formians, cool playable ooze dudes, are visiting each pathfinder ancestry with space options like Void Elves, and expanding each sf2 player core ancestry like PF2e's Ancestry guide did!!!

Arriving in Alaska from Los Angeles: My god, the air is so fresh and clean!

Arriving in Los Angeles from Alaska: Oh LA, you troll's armpit.

My dumb brain is so contrarian that even when the algorithm does suggest something I find cool, I refuse to interact with it because I didn't ask it to suggest things to me.

Mom's doctor: Your cholesterol is a bit high. You need to stop eating butter.

My mom: Oh hell no.

Having grown up poor and in a clean-your-plate household it's taking all my willpower not to finish off my daughter's plate after she is full.

Shout out to gifted kids who breezed through school with low effort and are now middle aged bundles of abandoned hobbies who can't finish a project.

It is a very good time to be interrogating where your life (including your community) is supported by government, and thinking about what you will do if (when) that support fails.

Because the people in charge are intent on rigging it so these support structures fail in the coming months and years.

They should make a price is right style game show where you get called down randomly from the audience to play a ttrpg one shot with the host as GM.

what people think I mean when I say I love country music: muh beer, muh truck, muh bald eagle

the country music I'm actually listening to: it's time to send the president back to god, direct mail

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”
